King George II was the last OF the mon
archs who made a fixed residence at 81.
Jarnes's palace. 1t was his queen, Caro-
line. VINO, being a stirring kind of woman,
planned all sorts of improvements about
the royal parks and palaces; among
Others, the exclusion OF the public from
all the royal enclosures. She asked OF
the prime minister what would be the
cost OF this last arrangement. "Oniy
crown, madam" said the polite man !
and the queen took warning and stayed
be- hand.

course che would do all things rightly. A
cunning transaction, indeed. She said
very little, but led me artfully TO believe
that the gift came from her, thus putting
an end to all probable friendly relations
between the giver and myself. No doubt
the innocent old gentleman expressed an
interest in me, and her jelous mothers
heart took alarm lest any of the money
that might come 10 little Julian, at Mr..
Tolman's death, should be bestowed upon
the poor young cousin.
1t was rather grssping, since Julian
would be wealthy at the death of his
parents in any case. He is now a man.
Cousin Roger and his wife are now
dead, and Julian has long since squander-
ed Mr.. Tolman's legacy, as we'll AZ the
large fortune left by his parents. II was
whispered in the family that once he
came very near being imprisoned for
forging his employers name for small
sum of money and that powerful influ-
ence alone saved him from public expos
ure and disgrace.
When l heard it was not surprised,
since, If there is anything in heredity, the
poor fellow must find IL difficult TO be
honorable.
An old maid in failing health, now
sew for living. Poor mother died of
consumption in the prime of her life.
The doctors said she might
have beensaved If could
have taken her to warmer climate,
but we were not able to raise the money
in time.

UNwHoLEsoME Ice CREAM.-Ine
occasional illness resulting from eating
cheap ice cream may be traced, accord
ing to a writer in the Sanitary Era, TO
glue, The use OF gelatine to prevent
ice cream from losing form and melting
down rapidly, is desirable and even
necessary, and were good gelatine, such
as is prepared for food purposes, en-
ployed, no objection could be raised:
But close competition and the greed of
gain tempt manufacturers Of the cream
to buy glue at a less price as a substi-
tute for gelatine. The cream-makers
are usually ignorant that antiseptics
(which are nearly all %poisonous) are
frequently employed by glue manu-
f~acturers to prevent decomposition OF
the very perishable materials from
which the glue is made. The cream
maker does not usually state that he
wants glue for making into ice cream,
and so the seller has no opportunity to
warn or advise, and the cream.maker
uses the glue and wonders why II
makes people sick.

"A stage almanac for the year
1871, now brought to light apropos of
the recent jubilee of the Royal Theatre
of Berlin, shows that a hundred years
ago the Berlin ''Italian Opera" boasted
of exactly two female singers, a male
singer reinforcing them In operas
which called for a third female role.
The portion Of the almanac devoted to
the drama also shows some comic feat
ures. Thus Nine. Mecour is entered
as representative Of "Mothers, First
Soubrettes and Affected Characters. ~
Herr Reinwald as playing Comic
Characters, Servants, ~Innkeepers and
Singing Pedants."
Berlin is suffering from a lack of
small lodgings, says the Baugeuerks-
Zeitung, ~contending that the fact of
there being only 1000 vacant lodgings
in a city Of a round 1,400 900 lnhabi-
tants is tantamount to a lack OF
lodgings. According to that paper, the
demand can only be satisfied by the
construction of from 600 to 700 large
houses, which, at an average of 70
occupants, can accommodate 40, 1000
persons, while the population of Berlin
has increased last year by far more than
$4,000. On the LIST of October, 1878,
when Berlin counted only 1000 00
inhabitants, there were about $4,000
vacant lodgings, and on the LIST Of
October last, with a population OF
1,400, 900, there were only 1000 vacan-
cies. This sets people q thinking, all
the nor as a city ordinance forbids
the construction of houses when lhe
temperature is below two degrees

the fact that a new building law is on
the municipal taps, which, if any,
thing, is not likely to facilitate

Il acriter on the subject Of diet
of centenarians thinks that ''twelye
ounces of solid food and sixteen
of liquid appear to be the maximum
requirements of age" The solids
ought, he thinks, to be made up of one
third animal food, chiefly flesh, and
two-thirds Vegetable nourishment. He
dislikes fruit and fish, and says that
salt and sugar should only be used
sparingly. He also deprecates the too
copious use of milk as well as of drugs,
and after adding that industry Of some
kind should be practiced he gravely
points out the valuable medicinal prop
erty of port wine. The latter is more
certainly suited to advanced life than
is almost any other form of stimulant.

RAILWAYS READY RELIEF

"The way that incandescent lamps
are made is very simple" an electrician
said recently. "There are different
ways OF preparing the hlaments, which
are shaped, carbonized end treated at a
white heat. They are then placed IN
platinum holders, which are embedded
In glass, and next go into the hands OF
the glass blower. The glass bulbs have
round openings at the bottoms and nj
tie tubes at the tops. The little tubes
all connect with n big tube. This is
called o fork, and resembles a cluster
of blackberries. Two or three dozen
bulbs may be on a fork. The glass
blower places 6laments in each bulb at
the bottom, and Yields the glass about
the platinum holder to the edges OF the
opening. Then the air is drawn from
the bulbs.
1.-THE open end of the big tube is at
tached to an air pump, which has forty
pounds of mercury at It's top. AS the
mercury drops it carries all the air
with 1t, and vaeuums are created In the
bulbs. The operator then takes a
Bunson burner, and directs IT'S fame
against the little tubes close to the
bulbs, This closes the bulbs, which
are then removed from the big tube.
The glass blower finishes them off.
The exhausting of the air fl ON so many
lamps at once makes the cost small.
The bulbs can be made by any ordinary
glass-blower. but 1t requires a mar OF
intelligence to make the hlament."

Etheridl oxygen is the name OF a new
compound recently invented by DR..
Richardson for inhalation. He says:
II place in a VOLTS bottle, with an

neck, two ounces or more OF ozonlc
ether. the ethereal solution of peroxide
OF hydrogen. To this l add gradually
solution Of permanganate Of potassa-
eight grains to one ounce Of water-by
the other neck of the bottle, and then
cork that neck. AS the fluids COM
mingle, oxygen gas and ethereal vapor
are given off freely, and can be inhaled
from the mouthpiece. The compound
OF gas and vapor, anesthetic, anti-spas-
modic and respirating, is applicable to
a large class OF cases of disease, such
as pertussis. asthma and phthisis. /
doubt if I ever added anything more
useful to practical therapeutics than
ethereal oxygen"

TEA--People must consult their
own tastes as to kind of tea. Mixed is
the best to use with ice. Allow one
teaspoonful for each person. Use boil
ing water but do not boil the tea, and
use while fresh. Tea is best made in
an eartEen teapot--never in tin. Iced
tea should be made several hours before
it Is needed and then set upon ice.
When ready to use it, sweeten and
drink without milk or cream. Use
cracked Ice to put into the glass.
